Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls. Hey Everyone!!
I must be in an apple phase cause every recipe with apples is appealing to me lately. I had to make these though. I love hot apple cider when the weather starts to get cold so this takes like my two favorite things and puts them together. I've never made cinnamon rolls before, but they were seriously so easy, and so delicious. The perfect balance of both cinnamon and apple cider flavoring, and the frosting, ugh!! Quick tip: When you are ready to cut your roll of dough into individual cinnamon rolls, don't use a knife!!
Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup 2% milk 1/4 cup apple cider or juice 1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup butter, softened, divided 1 egg 2 cups finely chopped peeled tart apples 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon Apple Cider Cream Cheese Frosting In a large bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Cinnamon Rolls. I’ve never made cinnamon rolls before.
How about you? No, I’m not talking about the ones from the chubby little doughboy tube. That’s cheating. I used to make those when I was a mere tot. The skill set required for making them was on par with what was needed to create things out of my Easy Bake Oven. As the years rolled on, I outgrew my easy cinnamon roll–making ways and pretty much gave up eating them (must have been around the time Mom declared them—and any pastry dripping in icing—fattening and, therefore, unhealthy for consumption). My attitude about eating sweets (especially for breakfast) is basically this: If you’re going to surrender to your sweet tooth every now and again, then make sure that whatever it may be is good! It’s a fantastic recipe; one that I’ll return to anytime I need a foolproof recipe for cinnamon rolls. I followed the recipe exactly, only I used another one of Penzeys cinnamon varieties (they do carry Vietnamese cinnamon).
Make the dough. Rugelash Rolls. During the holiday season, it’s about giving to others to show you care.
It’s the Season of Love. A great baked gift to give are Rugelach. These are pastries (or cookies) made of a cream cheese dough filled with fruit preserves. The versatility in using different ingredients in the filling make these a wonderful recipe. How is this pastry pronounced, you ask? This Christmas, celebrate the Season of Love by giving to a family in need. send love to others with your gift.
